Response of plants to multiple stresses [electronic resource] / edited by Harold A. Mooney [and others]

This book presents a whole-plant perspective on plant integrated responses to multiple stresses, including an analysis of how plants have evolved growth forms and phenological responses to cope with changing stress patterns in natural environments. Key Features. Explores stress responses at both the...
